    Here is a video showing how to remove a standard radio from the dashboard.
    A pair of extractors are required (available from Ebay etc ) but these can be made from 2 pieces of bent, wire coat-hanger or 4 small drills(using the blunt end) or 4 small Allen Keys or 4 small screwdrivers or 4 nails or even 4 darts.

    An assistant is useful to pull the radio out whilst you are releasing the 4
    securing clips
